1, confinement to lose weight needs to know
1. It is not advisable to lose weight too early after confinement.
After giving birth, women are in the weakest state and need to fully recover. At the same time, frequent breastfeeding and hard parenting during confinement require a lot of energy. Therefore, in any case, during confinement, don't lose weight through strenuous exercise, dieting, wearing body shaping clothes, etc., which will seriously harm your health. However, it should also be noted that you can't enjoy too many tonics with high fat, high sugar and high calorie during the second month, which will also increase the burden of losing weight in the future.
Don't always stay in bed
Appropriate postpartum activities can accelerate the metabolism of the new mother's body and promote the decomposition of body fat. After natural delivery, the new mother can do some simple activities in bed, such as turning over, lifting her legs and shrinking her anus. They can do some light housework one week after delivery and go out for a walk after dinner. If you are a new mother who has a cesarean section, you can do simple activities such as turning over and walking on the ground before removing the stitches, and then do physical exertion such as walking after removing the stitches for one week.
Eat less and eat more.
Never go on a diet at will during confinement, or use improper methods to lose weight, such as "apple therapy" and "seven-day fasting", so as not to affect the physical recovery of pregnant women. You can divide three meals a day into five meals a day. Eating less and eating more meals can control calorie intake, so that mothers can feel full all day, and it is not easy to get hungry, which is conducive to losing weight.
4. Miscellaneous grains instead of rice
During confinement in summer, porridge boiled with miscellaneous grains and beans can be used instead of white rice for dinner. It is suggested that millet, oats, red beans, black rice and other ingredients should be given priority. Vitamin B 1 in these miscellaneous grains can improve the quality of breast milk, which is beneficial to babies, and the dietary fiber contained in it also helps to prevent constipation. At the same time, porridge contains more water than rice, so you won't worry about gaining weight even if you are full.
5. Postpartum exercise to lose weight.
It is recommended to try active slimming exercise 6-8 weeks after delivery, because postpartum body needs time to recover and maintain a good milk supply. You can choose mild to moderate intensity aerobic exercise, and persevere, with excellent fat burning effect, including jogging, brisk walking, swimming, cycling, aerobic dance and so on. It takes at least 30 minutes to burn fat effectively. If conditions permit, it is best to ask a professional slimming coach to make a slimming plan.
6. Drink less milk soup
In the traditional understanding of China, soup is the secret of milking. All kinds of fish soup, chicken soup and pig's trotters soup should be cooked as thick as possible, and it is best to float a layer of oil on it for the best effect. But the milky white of the soup comes from the fat emulsified into droplets, not the nutrition lacking in breastfeeding.
It is recommended to drink only clear soup to remove oil slick on the surface. It is best to replace half of broth and chicken soup with low-fat milk and soybean milk, which can supplement more protein and vitamins, and the calcium in milk is also very important for making milk.
2, diet taboos to lose weight
1, all western food: Although there are many dishes, each dish only takes up a corner of the big plate, but the heat of western food is more amazing than that of Chinese food. An onion appetizer can have up to 800 calories, not to mention steak.
2. Disguised food: Many foods are characterized by health, but in fact they don't have much nutrition, such as various fruit drinks, vegetable biscuits and children's fruit desserts.
3. Big hamburger: increase the hamburger, double beef patties, and keep the price unchanged-can it really take advantage? The calories of a Big Mac can be as high as 1520 calories, which is all the calories a middle-aged woman needs in a day. Give up what she loves.
4. Stuffed bread: Bread itself is rich in nutrition, but it is different from chocolate, fruit and cream stuffing. Not only has sugar and calories doubled, but nutrition is also pitiful. Therefore, choosing the original whole wheat bread is a good performance for yourself.
5, a small cake with high calories: The cake doesn't seem to have so much fat and calories, but all kinds of high-calorie raw materials are added during the processing. Never let children get into the habit of eating cakes.
6, milk coffee: a cup of ordinary Starbucks white coffee is equivalent to two or two staple foods. But it's not the coffee's fault. Its calories are actually very low. If you like coffee, you'd better "slim down" it and choose a low-fat type without sugar and cream.
7. Food aroma in the supermarket: It is easiest to get hungry when shopping, and then being attracted by the aroma of snacks and meat products in the supermarket will make people eat twice as much at the next meal. Bring water and low-calorie biscuits when shopping, because you can't resist the temptation of food and avoid overeating.
8. Hard-to-refuse food around: There are more and more delicious foods, such as hamburgers, French fries, salads, barbecues, pizzas and desserts. When people are keen on new eating habits, they ignore the most fundamental sources of health: fruits and vegetables. These natural foods are the source of health.
9. Fried food: All fried food should be eaten less. Don't think that frying vegetables and bean products will be healthy. They also contain a lot of fat and should be removed from your menu.
